Chamber of Hellish Torture (aka: Butterfly Conservatory)

Today was a good day. I got a break from working so much and I got my homework done early. I put the chores aside and decided to spend time with my family. I've been promising Grace that we would go to the Butterfly Conservatory, or the Butterfly House, as Grace calls it. She was looking forward to it, until we actually stepped foot in there and she saw them flying around. Right as we entered two butterflies tried to land on Grace, after a brief meltdown consisting of her waving her arms frantically and screaming, they left her alone and she calmed down, but wanted to leave. I don't think that Grace remembered that the Butterfly Conservatory is her personal chamber of hellish torture of things flying around her. For some odd reason she has a horrible fear of butterflies flying, she is afraid they will bite her. She did okay with the finches, until she realized they also flew, and decided to fly right by her face. After that she was all done with the Butterfly Conservatory.

It wasnt' a total nightmare day for Grace, she did get rewarded for trying to be a big, brave girl. We went to Dairy Queen for a cool treat on a VERY warm day. She ended up wearing quite a bit of it though. Thankfully she washes!
